UK Disability Toolkit launched online.

Holmes, David

The Children's Society has launched a useful new website intended to help professionals working with disabled children and young people. The Disability Toolkit website is designed to be a 'one-stop information hub', providing essential resources, information and other assistance needed by professionals supporting disabled children in decision-making and participation activities. Aimed at anyone working with or supporting disabled young people--from social workers, teachers and health professionals to parents and carers--the toolkit includes a database of resources and practice examples, information on policy and research, and case studies outlining the experiences of disabled children and young people from their perspective. In a two-way process, users can download free resources developed by The Children's Society disability project as well as upload information on their own activities and resources. The Toolkit can be accessed at sites. childrenssociety.org.uk/disabilitytoolkit/index.aspx
